01

Step

Prepare Your Shaker (2 minutes): Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. The colder, the better!

02

Step

Combine Ingredients (3 minutes): Pour in the prepared lemonade, followed by the chilled club soda and superfine sugar. Halve the lemon and squeeze its juice into the shaker. Add the vodka.

03

Step

Shake Vigorously (2 minutes): Secure the lid tightly and shake well for at least 15-20 seconds. This ensures the ingredients are perfectly combined and chilled.

04

Step

Strain and Serve (2 minutes): Fill two glasses halfway with fresh ice. Strain the Vodka Collins evenly into the glasses.

05

Step

Garnish (Optional, 1 minute): While optional, a lemon wheel or a cherry can add a touch of elegance. A sprig of mint also complements the flavors beautifully. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing harmony of flavors!

For a sweeter Collins, increase the sugar to 1.5 teaspoons, or add a dash of simple syrup.
Experiment with flavored vodkas, such as citrus or berry, to add a unique twist.
Use fresh-squeezed lemonade for the best flavor. Bottled varieties often contain preservatives that can alter the taste.
If you don't have a shaker, a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid will work in a pinch.
Adjust the vodka quantity to your preference, but remember to maintain the balance of flavors.
